Quiet lifestyle in the Watchung Mountains
Featuring a blend of history, nature and classic style, Martinsville has become one of the most desirable locations in the area. Located among the thickly forested Watchung Mountains, residents can escape urban congestion in favor of a more pastoral lifestyle that still features plenty of personality, culture and amenities. “You have access to all the things you could want nearby,” says Michelle Giordano, real estate agent with Weiniger Realty and longtime resident of the area. “And it has a really unique personality thanks to the history.” Home to the first official American flag, Martinsville is steeped in history and charm — all without giving up access.

Colonials, Cape Cods from $275,000
Homes in Martinsville reflect the area’s historic character. Center-hall colonials are common, along with ranch styles, Cape Cods and custom builds of traditional influence. “The market is very competitive,” says Giordano. “You have many people wanting to move here, so what inventory there is typically goes quickly — and often for over asking price.” Prices for condominiums and Cape Cods start at around $475,000, though prices for most single-family homes range from $600,000 to $850,000. Particularly large custom builds can go for over $2 million, while historic homes that predate 1923 — the year many of the area’s original homes were destroyed in a town-wide fire — can reach similar prices.
Cape Cod homes add historic charm to Martinsville's residential areas.
